Sixth Man Band

 

The Sixth Man Band is the basketball pep band comprised of Marching Thunder members that performs at EVERY home basketball game!

All Marching Thunder members are eligible to participate in the Sixth Man Band starting in the Fall and then continue in the Spring. Those wishing to continue in the Spring must register for MUSE 426. This class is only offered in the spring.
